Empowering Parents Through Excellence in Education
Pathway to Accreditation
As we work towards full International Baccalaureate authorization, IWAS remains committed to the highest standards in education. We are also pursuing accreditation with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), reflecting our dedication to providing a globally recognized, high-quality education that empowers students to thrive in an interconnected world.
Confidence in Academic Rigor and Quality Education
Parents can have confidence that their children are receiving a high-quality education that challenges them academically. The IB program is internationally recognized for its rigor and focus on developing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
IB accreditation standards ensure that schools meet strict criteria for curriculum quality and teaching practices, providing parents with peace of mind.
Preparation for Future Success
The IB curriculum is designed to prepare students for success in higher education and beyond. By developing skills like critical thinking, research, and time management, IB students are well-equipped to handle the demands of university and future careers.
This readiness gives parents reassurance that their children are on a path toward successful and fulfilling lives, with a solid foundation for future challenges.
Encouragement of Ethical Values and Global Citizenship
The IB program fosters values like respect, empathy, and integrity, which align with many parents’ desires to raise ethical and compassionate individuals. IB students learn the importance of cultural understanding and responsible decision-making.
Parents appreciate that their children are taught to be globally minded, empathetic citizens who are capable of making positive contributions to society.
Active Parent-Teacher Communication
IB schools emphasize open communication with parents, keeping them informed of their child’s progress and school activities. Regular updates, parent-teacher conferences, and workshops help parents understand the curriculum and how to support their child’s learning at home.
The collaborative environment within IB schools ensures that parents are involved in their child’s educational journey.
Structured Support for Student Well-being
The IB program focuses on developing the student as a whole, including their social and emotional well-being. This focus means that IB schools often offer programs and resources to support students’ mental health and personal growth, easing parental concerns.
Schools also foster a balanced approach to education, encouraging students to engage in creative, physical, and service activities, which contributes to a well-rounded and balanced life.
Increased Opportunities for Global Mobility
With the IB framework recognized in over 140 countries, families who may relocate can feel
confident that their child's education will transition smoothly across international schools
For globally minded parents, the IB program offers the benefit of a curriculum that prepares their children to work and succeed in diverse cultural contexts, increasing future career opportunities.
